Nice Auction Today!!!

Congratulations everyone for hosting a successful first auction.  Thank you everyone who came to help out, and also thank you to the buyers and sellers.  We had one buyer drive all the way up from DesMoines, IA!  Events like this are what makes a club fun… Way to go!

May 1 – Live Fish/Plant Auction

The next MAAH event will be our first full-fledged auction.  Please plan on coming out to be a part of this inaugural event.  Specifics regarding location, buyer/seller instructions and auction rules can be seen on the AUCTIONS page.

The auction will feature a Buy It Now table where sellers can set a price for higher-value fish/plants and buyers can purchase them without having to bid.  See the rules for specific details.

We will also be holding an earn-a-ticket drawing for several drygoods prizes.  You will get a ticket when you pick up your buyer number and will earn a ticket for every bag that you purchase in the auction.  Prizes in the drawing include:

  • Book: Ecology of the Planted Aquarium by Diana Walstad
  • Book:  Celebrating Cichlids from Lakes Malawi and Tanganyika by Ad Konings
  • A large piece of driftwood
  • A mixed box of smaller pieces of driftwood
  • A Marineland 20-gallon aquarium kit with LED light
  • A 10-gallon aquarium with a custom feather rock background
  • Tetra Pond BP2500 pond filter

The list of species coming to the auction keeps growing, and can be viewed on the MAAH FORUM.  We are expecting a great mix of fish and plants.
